As I held the phone with my academic adviser on the other end of the phone sitting on the bed in total shock. A million things were going through my mind. I hope hes joking on the other end of this phone. What am I going to tell my family??? They just bought their tickets. I better be walking that's all I know. What the Fuck!!!! I didn't hear anything else but come to my office tomorrow morning so we can talk about it. I told him better yet I can meet you in your office today, What time are you leaving. He told me four o'clock and I threw on my shoes and rushed out the door. I got to his office and he asked me to have a seat as he explained to me why I would not be graduating this semester.
He told me the reason I will not be graduating was because of one class. I told him I checked my balance sheet and he checked my balance sheet so how was this possible. But then I remembered last Fall semester I was in his public policy class registering for my other classes while he was teaching. He stops in the middle of class and tells me I'm only teaching this class this semester so if your gradating in the Spring you might want to sign up now. So, I had to switch my schedule around to add that class on. Mind you the Theories and Methods Part II is the class that I took off my schedule to fit The Public Policy class on to my schedule. It was still on my balance sheet but I did not have a real grade for the class.
I tried everything I could to see about graduating. I talked to another teacher, I tried to see if the teacher that was teaching the class at the time could give the class to me as an independent study. That fart didn't budge. She kept telling me that it was too late, its five weeks before graduation, blah blah blah... There was nothing else I could've done. I had to take that "L". Now that I think about it it just wasn't in God's plan for me to graduate just yet. You see, my actual expected graduation date is Spring 2016 and I'm on time I'm actually overtime. But it is so boring down here at this school that I'm ready to go and get away from here. I've been down here since 2010 and I was still about to do a graduate application to stay down here for grad-school but I think God is telling me no. I was about to turn in the application when something else happened. I found out that its free for MSW at Clark Atlanta and that's right up my alley because this has prolonged my stay here and I'm ready to move back home to Atlanta.
The only problem is there is no place to call home because my mom moved to VA. So that's my next dilemma but I'm going to put it in God's hands because he would not steer me where he does not want me to go.
